The purpose of this paper is to discuss the interview of a faculty member at Valencia College. The faculty in the nursing program at Valencia College has several roles to accomplish. Mentoring, tutoring, instructing, counseling and promoting cultural diversity in the student population are common roles of the faculty at Valencia College. Other topics discussed in this interview include the educational preparation of the faculty for the educator role and the teaching tools required to promote learning. The faculty member interviewed was the lead instructor for the first semester nursing class (nursing 1). Ms. M. Dial, RN, MSN gladly agreed to this interview. The Role of the Faculty

According to Ms. Dial (personal communication, July 19, 2012), the faculty has great responsibility to teach, mentor, and counsel the students. Ms. Dial was asked to share some thoughts about cultural diversity in the classroom. She stated that, today, the students attending the nursing program are of diverse ethnic background. It is the responsibility of the faculty to understand their needs, learning attitudes, and behaviors to make learning possible. At times, the teaching method has to vary according to the learning needs of the students. For example, when teaching about culture, communication, and the therapeutic touch, the students interpret the content according to their cultural background. Literature review indicates that many of the major scholastic problems encountered in community colleges today are related to diversity (Kayes & Singley, 2009). The number one issue when dealing with diversity in community colleges is the retaining and degree completion rates by culturally diverse students, this is a consistent problem in many campuses across the nation. Another issue related to diverse students is that...

...﻿“ONLINE FACULTY EVALUATION SYSTEM”
ABSTRACT
The conventional way of using paper to evaluate students' system is time consuming because the evaluators would fill in several forms. And a lot of data are needed to be assembled in order to calculate the overall marks from each evaluator.
Each record must be integrated with a system that can capture data, performing calculations and stores them to the database. This is where the development of an Online Faculty Evaluation System is needed.
Enhancements from the current evaluation system and the realibility of the evaluation system itself if it is implemented in the real situation. The solutions to all these problems are among the objectives of this system.
The development of the system follows the software engineering methodology called Software Process Model that covers every aspect of software development of this system from identifying requirements until the maintenance part. Beta testing is one of the requirements of this system to measure the capability of the evaluation system itself as well as the open source software used for the development process. As a result from the activities which have been through, the feedback from users towards the system are gathered.

...Because faculty is such a fundamental part of the university essence questions are continually being asked about them: Who are they? What do they do? How much assigned effort is devoted to carry out the functions/services they provide? How many hours a week do they spend a direct instruction? How can they manage a duplicate of schedules/workloads they have?
Manual faculty workload system is currently used at the department level for making course planning/scheduling decisions, estimating current and future staffing needs and determining curricular barriers to timely progress forward a degree, and its main reason why in Sultan Kudarat State University Isulan campus class schedules are not stable.
In contrary to provide workload/schedules of the faculty without any conflict with the other teachers, the computerized faculty workload is to be constructed for the purpose to eliminate the conflict schedules between time, rooms and the teachers. Computerized faculty workload of SKSU-Isulan Campus is proposed for a better routine classes and workloads of the teachers for the entire school semester.
Objectives of the Study
Generally, this study aims to provide a system that will hold the records of faculty workload.
Specifically, it aims:
a) To eliminate the conflict schedules between time, rooms and teachers, during the making of faculty workload.

Project Context
In recent times, everyday life was filled with burdensome, time-consuming chores that left little time for much more than completing important tasks. People generally worked from their homes or within walking distance to their homes and rarely travelled far from them. People were limited to whatever their physical capacities were. All this changed dramatically as new technologies were developed. Modern day technology makes life simple and easy in many ways.
The computer, for example is used in so many fields in our daily life. From Schools, Colleges, Banks to Hospitals and Government Organizations they all use computers to perform specific tasks, for teaching and research, or for record keeping. Computers have made our life easier. With greater precision and accuracy and less time taking computers can do a lot in short time while manual tasks can take a lot of time.1 The computer provides a number of media options that can enhance the learning experience inside a school or office. Teachers can deliver information to students in ways that keep students engaged and interested in the material. Pictures, slideshows, videos and audio can all be prepared and accessed through a computer,...
